5:01 am
passenger out of the car, the marine drove off. police fired their weapons, hitting and killing devillena. >> after we collect the witness statements, the statements from the officers involved and the evidence at the scene, we'll have a better determination of what actually occurred, what was occurring in the minds of the officers and what led them to use their weapons in this incident. >> reporter: devillena's friend was not hurt. inside the car they found a stolen phone and atm card. devillena had recently returned from a tour in afghanistan and was weeks away from finishing his service in the marines. he was in town last week touring local colleges. he had a passion for music which is one reason why he wanted to study sound engineering. bob redell, "today in the bay." he founded what turned out to be a multimillion dollar anti-virus company in the silicon valley, but this morning john mcafee is a wanted man. authorities in central america

5:03 am
this is not the first time mcafee has been in trouble with the law. earlier this year in april, his home was raided. officers confiscated weapons and found equipment to make antibiotics and antiseptics, which they are investigating. police say mcafee was arrested and released. as for fall, his neighbor who is now dead, mcafee says he knows nothing about that death. laura. >> thank you very much, marla. we have breaking news right now in daly city. evacuations are under way near hillside park due to a major water leak in that area. we're told there is a lot of debris in that area. we just got off the phone with the water department who says they have just arrived and they're working on the leak. christie smith is on her way to the scene as well. she'll bring us an update as soon as we know more. an autopsy today could provide more clues into the suspicious death of a man found dying in a trash can. 21-year-old joshua perez was
5:04 am
found inside a bin in front of the home of a family home sunday morning. he was alive but unresponsive. he died at the hospital. investigators and family members think he was drinking saturday night. they're trying to determine whether alcohol and pole the cold weather played a role in his death. a verdict is expected today in the trial of a san francisco man accused of violent sex assaults on women. prosecutors say frederick dozier attacked three women along the 24th street corridor in the mission district. that was between june and december of 2011. he allegedly grabbed the victims from behind and dragged them to se cloudcluded areas. he was arrested after police matched his dna to evidence from the crime scene. the san francisco police department honoring an officer killed in the line of duty 18 years ago today. the department will hold a memorial where he was gunned down back in 1994. he served a decade with the force and is survived by his two children. the public memorial begins at
5:05 am
6:00 tonight at the corner of pine and franklin streets. it is 5:05 right now. meteorologist christina loren is here to tell us that mother nature continues to keep it cool. >> yeah, she keeps it cool, as most women do. temperatures are nice and comfortable this morning. 37 in novato, 50 in stinson beach. overall we are running about five degrees warmer than yesterday. you know if you adjust the thermostat in your home just a little bit, it makes a substantial difference. 37 in gilroy and 41 right now out in livermore. we've got this area of low pressure lingering to our north. it's going to drop in as we head throughout the first part of the morning. by mid-morning it's going to clear out of here but we could get a little shower activity in the northernmost portion of sonoma county. 9:00 a.m., mostly cloudy conditions. those clouds will clear out of here by noon. lots of sunshine and today we'll hit the 70s. 72 degrees in livermore, 70 in santa teresa and 69 in san jose where we average about 67, so just a touch warmer than average. we'll warm up even more so

5:07 am
you'll have to get over to 17 likely. live look outside across the bay bridge here with the tiny little red lights. that's good news. tiny bit of traffic on the upper deck. no problems between the city and oakland. back to you guys. >> thank you very much. the grand opening of the devil slide bypass tunnels is now being delayed. caltrans pushing back the date into early 2013. county officials say they need more time to perform safety and electronic testing. the two tunnels cut through a mountain between pacifica and half moon bay and by passes a stretch of highway 1 which is certainly prone to landslides. it is 5:07. an extramarital affair may not have been the only downfall for david petraeus. this one gets deeper and deeper. this morning there's word another woman was involved in the affair that led to the resignation of the four-star general. we'll have a live report from washington still ahead. and later, black friday may be too late.

5:24 am
headaches for drivers but retailers are not complaining. new numbers reveal record opening day sales for a lot of the stores in that paragon outlet mall. preliminary numbers showing about 350,000 cars stopped by the mall between thursday and sunday. we have a look here of that backup last thursday. yeah, people love sales. that was caused by that grand opening. all the shoppers, very good for business, but locals not too thrilled by the masses. some say the commute has almost doubled with the opening of this mall. the chp, local police and caltrans say they continually address the traffic hot spots and they could change some things there to try to ease that traffic flow. >> a lot of traffic through there. >> going into the holiday season, well timed. >> a lot of deals. time to check the forecast for today with meteorologist christina loren. how are we looking? >> oh, we're looking good. i want to take you through your city-by-city forecast and take you through all of the zones, the microclimates across the bay area. 72 in morgan hill today, 69 in

5:26 am
starting to see a little slowing through livermore. it's a little lighter right now largely in part because of this accident, a sig alert westbound 580 passing mountain house. we have a few cars involved in and one lane blocked so it's causing a big backup holding folks back so they can't get through the altamont and towards livermore. once that clears i'll let you know. south bay looking really good for your northbound routes, not showing any slowdowns. we'll see the first burst in about 15 minutes. and the power outage closing glen arbor on highway 9. a bay area school district getting ready to reconsider the way it deals with reports of sexual abuse after a recent lawsuit filed by a former student. right now let's take you outside. that is live look at highway 80, emeryville. traffic picking up early but it looks thick heading in one direction. we'll check it out and tell you about it coming up. 5:27. back in a matter of minutes.
